Leo is notoriously to explain to people.  Most attempts start out something 
like "It's  a text editor, an IDE, oh, yes, a PIM, and so much more".  The 
listener is not very enlightened.

I've been bugged by this, so I have been working on refining the Leo's 
purpose and key concepts.  I'd like to share what I have so far, and hope 
that between us we can distill it even more clearly.

"Leo helps you create, edit, and understand the structure and contents of
collections of plain-text documents.

Plain-text documents can include text editor files, source code for program 
and documentation, and any other content that can be written as plain text, 
such as ReStructuredText, Markdown, .dot files that represent graph 
diagrams, to-do lists, and so on.

Structure includes both the arrangement of groups of related files, and 
structure that is important but rarely visualized in ordinary text files.

Leo's key concepts include a tree-like organization, nodes that contain the 
textual content, external files that can be contained as subtrees, and 
scripts that can add or change Leo's behaviors."
